THE SITUATION,

Very few Statesmen or people seem 10
be aware of the dangers that threaten
the Republic. The ultimate designs 'ot
the Solid South are not very clearly un'
derstood. That the Lost Cause" is not
wholly given up, but abides is time and
has been assisted frequently by Jeif.
Davis and other Southern leaders. Inc
idea of Southern Cenfedera cy, |
based on the subjugation of the poor
white population and the negro race, is
n popular dream which the Southern
States are determined to realize, To ac'
complish such result, the Solid South
have already secured the aid of the DEM
ocratic party North, also the aid OF the
Prohibition party, together with the
powerful aid of British Syndicate
Cleveland is ready to do the Southern
bidding. The House is Democratic ana
the Senate nearly SO, and two Democrat
ic Judges have been put on the bench
of the Supreme Court. With Dem
ocratic Congress and Democratic Sn-
preme Court, the work of the Southern
Confederacy will go on in good earnest,
The Grand Army of the Republic viii
be disbanded by law, its battle flags re-
turned, memorial day abolished, and
the last relics of "Lincoln's hirlinSs" put
out of sight. Every living soldier and
drummer boy of the rebel army will be
| pensioned. The rebel bonds, held by
British bankers and other rebel bondhol-
ders, must be paid in full on demand
until the whole debt of the Southern
Confederacy arising from emancipated
slaves is discharged, and confiscated
property, amounting to some Twenty
Hundred Millions of Dollars, is cancel
led. The doctrine of States Rights will
be promulgated. The South Will then
control the government secede and form
an Empire with Mexico upon the corner
stone of slavery. That, will consumate
the program of Southern polit ical
schemes. That, they would have done
twenty-five years ago had it not been
for the indomitable pluck of the Union
army. That will occur after the dis
memberment of the Union is not diff
cult to fortel. Perhaps Great Britain
would take advantage Of distracted
country. She sided with the rebels il
the late war. The Alabama swept OH
! commerce from the seas. British gum
loaded with British powder and sho
decimated the Union army, and British
: gold elected Democratic President
subject to southern dictation. Nothing
would be more pleasing TO the Pope thar
to change his seat from Rome to New
York, and subiugate this Yankee nation
Already he numbers some ten or fifteen
millions of loyal subjects in the United
States, and most of the civil and militar,
offices are held by the faithful childr ell
of Notre Dame. If the American peo.
Pile would preserve the liberties fol
which our fathers and their sons Tough
and bled and died, let them all unite
irrespective of party as they did in thu
late war and vote for patriotic men
Let Prohibitionists, Democrats, and Rep
ublicaus unite, one and all, in grant
rally for constitutional liberty, Anarchy
and disunion seems to be in a grea
measure the order of the day. If it wa'
not for the prestige of the Grand Army
the republic could not exist. Let recog
milton and due justice be done to tina
noble and model order of men.
